My third visit of the day. Moderately busy footfall for early Saturday evening. Friendly welcome and prompt service. Just two Shepherd Neame real ales on with one seasonal.

Shepherd Neame - Late Red4.50GoodHad also tried in Faversham, the Shepherd Neame Brewery's home. Superb head and lacing. A spicy hit on first tasting with a slight touch of berry fruits. Very moreish with a lingeringly dry and slightly fruity mouthfeel.

The pub is found in Northfleet, Kent, DA11 8BP.

A distinctive 18th century cottage-style pub in Vale Road. Almost looks as though it could be at home on the Isle of Thanet in having a Kentish red brick and flint exterior. Only one of its kind in local Gravesend area known of. Large "L" shaped bar area with restricted seating at the front of the pub running alongside the bar. There is a raised seating area at the rear which is roomier. Unusually, it seems to be a wet-only pub according to local CAMRA and on our visit on 2nd November 2024. A large garden gives children and dogs a space they are welcome in according to CAMRA. No dogs on the inside and not sure about children as not stated on the pub’s website. Typically, three beers from the Shepherd Neame range on with one including a seasonal ale or a special brew.

We have visited this pub once, seen 2 different beers and tried 1 of them.
